== <span class="mw-headline"> Lyrics </span> ==

Well, she was only twenty-seventeen<br />
She was a low-res beauty queen<br />
She was a brain, brain, brain sister<br />
Tryin' to put a mark on me<br />
She was a brain, brain, brain sister<br />
Texas Instruments all day

Front row science class<br />
In gym, picked last<br />
She was a brain, brain, brain sister<br />
Tryin' to put a mark on me<br />
She was a brain, brain, brain sister<br />
Texas Instruments all day

And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
I think you know what I mean! All right!

''{Instrumental break}''

Well, she was only twenty-seventeen<br />
She was a low-res beauty queen<br />
She was a brain, brain, brain sister<br />
Tryin' to put a mark on me<br />
She was a brain, brain, brain sister<br />
Texas Instruments all day

And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
And she remembers how they used to duet<br />
I think you know what I mean!

''{spoken}'' Oh yeah, ooh, all right, uh!
